## Key points

- Iran is rebuilding the suspected nuclear research site Taleghan 2.
- A canopy obscures repair work after Israeli strikes.
- Seized documents indicate experiments continued after 2003.

## Summary

Satellite images show Iran rebuilding Taleghan 2, a facility at the Parchin military complex that is suspected of having supported nuclear weapons research. The latest repair work raises questions about whether Iran is resuming sensitive experiments and what equipment may be returning to the site.

The facility, about 20 miles southeast of Tehran, was built in the early 2000s as part of the alleged Amad Plan, which Iran denies existed. Israel destroyed the building in October 2024; Iran rebuilt it, then Israel struck it again in March 2026. A tarpaulin canopy now obscures repair work, including whether Iran is replacing a steel vessel used in “cold tests” with conventional explosives and uranium proxies. Documents seized by Israel’s Mossad in 2018 indicated that the site’s research continued under tighter secrecy after 2003.
